Hey everyone. I just wanted to give an update ā¦. BERNESE METHOD SAVED MY LIFE!
It worked and you can do the induction even slower than expected if you are nervous. Start with 0.25mg. Move to 0.5. If you have to do 0.5 3-4 times before moving up to 1mg then do that! It will work. You feel it working after a 0.5 dose and you wonāt feel high anymore and barely any withdrawals. Youāll still need to use to feel no withdrawals but once youāre up to as little as 2mg doses (twice a day of course) you can kick the drugs even though they say wait until 8 mg. I went up to 4mg twice a dayā¦ stayed at that for five daysā¦ then lowered to 2mg twice a day for a week until ultimately forgetting some night doses and only taking the morning without any withdrawals. Iām not kidding I did not feel anything whatsoever in terms of withdrawals. Maybe watery eyes and a slightly stuffed nose but I mean next to nothing. Symptoms that in an every day life of sobriety I wouldnāt have noticed. Sobriety is possible everyone!! Thank you for your support seriously couldnāt have done it with you.
Day 1- 0.25 at night only (you can start whenever I just chose then because if I were to ever precipitate it would be at night after work when I upped my dose) Day 2- 0.25mg morning. No symptoms shown. 0.5 at night. No symptoms. Day 3- 0.5 morning. Could not get high really. 1mg at night. Day 4- 1mg morning. No symptoms but this is when I felt absolutely no high but still used. 1mg at night because I was nervous and wanted to spread it out and get used to the meds. It wasnāt necessary I just didnāt need to rush. Day 5- 1mg morning. 2mg night. No symptoms. Day 6- 2mg morning. 2mg at night. Day 7- 2mg morning 4mg night **Day 8- 4mg morning. No physical need to use. FIRST DAY SOBER NO DRUGS* 4mg at night
I then stayed at this dose for a few days because I thought 3 days and fent will be out of system so I may feel something. Nothing happened. I began taking 2mg twice a day then 2mg once a day.
Itās all about how you feel. You can do it too. One week no symptoms and youāll be sober! You can do it.
Iāve been researching this method for many months and this post has def been the most helpful for me to understand, so I thank you for that. Iāve been a āfailure to launchā suboxone induction for many weeks now. Once got to 6 days doc free and screwed myself over by only using half a strip bc I was so scared of the pwd I had gotten earlier in the week. Now Iām just so lost. Iāve started an outpatient and getting on the subs is absolutely crucial but I keep fucking up. I feel I have nothing to lose trying this method at this point. I have so little of my doc left that itās perfect timing. My doc expects me on subs by Monday. Idk if I can do that but Iām going to try. My question is, Iāve not used in about 15 hours- should I just try the 0.25 at bedtime and take fent only if I go into pwd or should I use some fent very soon and then take the sub later (typing this out it makes me think thatās a stupid idea because the sub would push the fent off the receptors at a greater amount, but Iām unsure) Also I realize you may not get back to me instantly.. I may just try get further out without using
